"The leading band of rain associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaac will spread north through the south and west suburbs of Chicago this morning," the weather service said early Saturday. About a quarter to half an inch of rainfall per hour can be expected, said the weather service.

The weather service also warned of increased risk of rip currents in Lake Michigan and it remains in effect until Sunday evening.
